Lucas Simões is an artist living and working in Sao Paulo. The majority of his works revolve around the combination of both geometric and organic shapes overlaid to create curious patterns.

In this series he invited close friends to tell him a secret as he photographed them. His sole intention was to capture each persons expression as they told the secret. At the end of the photo session he chose 10 different pictures then cut and layered between acrylic sheets.

Hilla Shamia designed these sturdy stools out of wood and aluminum. The Wood is cast into the aluminum which creates a very interesting merge of materials.

Furniture combing the cast aluminium and wood.The negative factor of burnt wood is transformed into aesthetic and emotional value. Preservation of the natural form of the tree trunk within the explicit boundaries. The general,squared form intensifies the artificial feeling, and in the same time keeps the memory of the material.

Malibu, California has some of the finest homes. This home in particular was owned by Dick Clark and is currently for sale. The home is heavily inspired by the Flintstones with its organic interior and exterior structure. The view from the residence is also amazing, with views stretching out over the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding mountains.

This is the type of video that makes my eyes well up and I become so inspired to go on a manhunt for lost design. Aaron Draplin as collected so many aged, original memo books over the years and is building an archive. You can see a sample of the collection here, and boy is it great. It’s beautiful and I absolutely can’t wait to see more of it.

I see one huge lesson in all of Aaron’s collecting, and it’s something that I’ve been trying to do on a smaller scale… I believe we should all be doing our part to rescue the lost great design. This also goes hand in hand with sharing great design as well. That’s all I have for you now on this great establishment, but expect more on this memo book collection in the future!

The Mary Lake Residence is located in the Village of Port Sydney Pontario. The home was designed by Toronto-based firm, Altrius Architecture. Overall the home is a welcoming mix of “homey” meets modern. I imagine the home is quite comfortable in the winter. Shared via Freshome.

Pott Architects created this unique, triangle-shaped house in the Lichterfelde district of Berlin, Germany. From the outside the home appears to be a single volume, but when inside, rooms are beautifully divided into multiple levels and spaces. Found on Freshome

It may not be the world’s fastest camera, but it sure is one of the most elegant. We all knew it was only a matter of time before one of the world’s finest cameras met head on with one of the worlds finest car manufacturers. Hasselblad and Ferrari have created a limited edition H4D-40 featuring a 40 Megapixel medium format sensor and True Focus AF system. The H4D Ferrari has been produced in a limited run of 499 cameras that will drain your pockets by just under $30,000.

The camera comes in an elegantly designed, hand-made glass topped case. Much like a Ferrari itself, the case also features a luxurious inner lining to keep the camera comfy.

This project was created with the same spirit that america was founded on. Our intentions are to connect everyone in america through the lens of this camera and social networking sites. We can’t do this without you. We want to tell your story and show your city or town through photographs of you, and people you know. As we travel around america looking for people and places to shoot you will be able to keep track of where we are going and help us decide where we go next. Join us in our journey by liking our facebook to get yourself photographed by us.

Artist Yong Ho Ji creates these detailed and ferocious animal sculptures from recycled tires. Ji Yong-Ho has an interest in artificial mutation; each of his sculptures start in a mutated state and transform from there. His use of tires as the medium certainly express a state of mutation for these frightening creatures. To top it all off, he uses aryl gems for the animals’ eyes.
